Creating and Editing Points

This section explains how to create and edit a Point. A point refers to a
variable that is used by the Infinity system. For example, a Point can be
an input on a controller, an output on a controller, a numeric variable, a
character string, or an Xdriver variable.

Creating an Input/Output Point

Select Edit Points from the Main Menu Bar. Enter the name of the
Infinet controller at the InfinetCtlr prompt. Enter the name of the Point
at the Name prompt. If it is a new Point, you will have to type in the
name that you wish to give the Point, such as:
OADmp for the Outside Air Damper output
Sfan for the Supply Fan output
If you are editing an existing Point, you can hit the F2 key at the Name
prompt and get a list of the available choices.
After entering the Point Name, the Point window will appear. The Point
window allows you to define the attributes of this Point. You must set
the Type of Point, such as Input or Output. You must set the Electrical
Type for an Input/Output Point, such as Voltage, Digital, Current, or
TriState. You must set the Channel Number for each Input/Output
Point. The Channel Number refers to the physical Input or Output
number on the Infinet controller. Each Infinet controller will have
different Input/Output capabilities. Refer to Chapter 2 for an
explanation of each controller.
If you select the DETAILS box, you can enter a Description of the
Point, enter the Display Format for a Point, or define other attributes of
the Point.
When you are done entering the attributes, TAB to the SAVE box in the
Point window and hit the ENTER key. The CX9200 will return you to
the Command window.
Figure 4-9 shows an example of a Point window.
